Essential minerals: geopolitics, the struggle for global supply chains and today’s realities for Ukraine
Control of global supply chains determines economic security and geopolitical balance. States and corporations are fighting fiercely to control their production and supply, as these resources determine technological leadership, defence capability and economic independence.
🔹 What does global competition for critical minerals look like?
🔹 Why can their shortage change the balance of power in the world?
🔹 What opportunities and challenges does Ukraine have in this regard?
These and more will be discussed at the meeting, which combines geopolitical analysis, economic forecasts and realistic development scenarios for Ukraine.
This is an expert lecture by Yehor Perelyhin on critical minerals and strategic resources.
Countries that control the extraction and supply of key resources shape the global rules of the game, strengthen their independence and determine the direction of the world’s technological development.
As for Ukraine, this is not only a matter of economy, but also of national security. Control over these resources can change the course of a war, influence negotiating positions and lay the foundation for post-war recovery.
